muscle gain/ fat loss exchange (???!)
I weighed myself this morning (160). The last time i weighed myself a month or more ago, it was 160...I have been dieting and doing cardio 4-5 days a week, combined with 3-4 days of rather intense powerlifting. I know I LOOK different, (my proportions seem better, there is less fat in certain areas.) Clothes don't fit looser, rather they just look BETTER.
I guess i just need inspiration and reassurance that it is possible to lose fat while gainng serious muscle....I try not to weigh myself, but was talked into it. And now I'm discouraged that i'm doing something wrong because the evil scale hasn't moved.
So, is it possible? To gain muscle while losing fat and not seeing a loss on the scale?
Please encourage me!!!!
I feel that 160 is so HIGH; (I am trying to recover from years of lofat dieting and only walking for exercise, but weighing around 130...) I need to remember that i have the type of body that can carry a lot of extra weight (and now the extra weight is starting to be muscle instead of fat.)
Please help!!!
